- you tried a whole-weekend clear-out once and were tired of it by Wednesday
- you have bought something again because you could not find the one you had
- you would like your children not to have to sort it all one day
It is not, if
- you want the whole house done in one weekend
- you are looking for storage boxes to buy
- you need a printed hardcover: this one is a PDF

The Japanese way of keeping house
Stop cleaning harder. Do one small job a day.
Thirty days, fifteen minutes each, and a home that asks less of you every week.
A Japanese home is not cleaned more. It is kept, a little every day: one drawer, one shelf, one habit at a time. Every day in the guide gives you the job, the steps with amounts and times, why it works with its source, the common mistakes, and a five-minute version for a tired day.

Questions
Before you order
Is this a printed book?
No. It is a PDF that arrives by email a minute after you pay. Read it on a phone, tablet or computer, or print it at home on ordinary paper.
Is the print really large?
Yes. The main text is set at 16 to 18 points with wide spacing, so you can read it at arm's length without hunting for your glasses.
Is it a one-time payment?
Yes. You pay $19.99 once and the guide is yours to keep, with every later update included. There is no subscription and nothing renews.
Do I need Japanese products?
No. Everything in the guide is something you already have, or can find at a supermarket or hardware store.
I am not good with computers. Will I manage?
Yes. After you pay, an email arrives with one button. Press it and the guide opens, the same way a photo opens. If anything goes wrong, write to support@japanesehomerules.shop and a person answers.
Can I give it as a gift?
Yes. Buy it, then forward the download email to your daughter, your sister or a friend.
What if it is not for me?
You have thirty days. Reply to the email with your receipt and we refund you in full. No forms, no questions. See the refund policy.
Is Setsuko a real person?
Setsuko Hayashi is the storyteller who narrates our channel, a character we created. The guide is written by our team. We say this plainly because you should know who you are buying from.
Day one takes fifteen minutes. You could do it tonight.
Open the drawer by the stove. Take out what has a melted edge. That is the whole first day.
